J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs!}

   This is the weekly "J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs}" post, to help each other share our reviews.

So if you have recently purchased, or stopped by a J.Crew store to try on an item (or two) from J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Also, this request is not just limited to clothes. Please feel free to discuss bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories, etc.

In particular, if you could mention a few of the noteworthy details like fit, size, fabric, and the like— that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance! :)

  1. Early Black Friday email from Jcrew this morning with code SHOPEARLY gives 40% off. I didn’t order anything but that extra 15% off discount code still seems to apply to items in the basket. SMPGFGFGB

    1. Thanks Shopping Celle, it works. Ordered a couple of gifts. Happy Thanksgiving

  2. I had product in my basket yesterday that was marked down. Today, mysteriously it now full price. The games JC plays with pricing is shameful. Why do I continue to be in this bad relationship?

    1. @Barbara: There's a puffer shirt (black multi) that is full price ($178) and final sale. It's not even in the sale section. It's not excluded from the promo, but still....I wasn't interested in it, but that final sale bit jumped out at me. Odd.

  3. Anybody know the sizing on the University Half Zip Tunic or Pull On Silk Pant BA255?

    Thank you!

    1. The half zip tunic runs large…definitely size down at least one maybe two sizes. It could have been a great piece if it had a more fitted sleeve. The combination of the dropped shoulder and full sleeve just looks sloppy in my opinion. I ended up returning.

  4. Styling the rolled neck cozy sweater on the blog today with some other fall pieces. Sweater is soft and runs TTS. Currently 40% off with current promo. Happy Thanksgiving!

  5. Current promo has lots of exclusions - it's not really 40% off purchase. The Camerons I want are excluded. And what's left in my cart, I am not convinced the current sale prices with the promo are the actual best prices I've seen. Nothing I need other than the Camerons, so I will wait for a better promo.

  6. Current promo is no different than previous promos. I purchased items that were slightly less in price back in Oct. I’m hoping to see a Flash Sale after the current promo ends. Not that I want anything.

    1. I'm not looking for a thing for me, but it's time to start sending gifts! Hoping a nice sale starting Friday am.

    2. agree, current promo not so exciting when prices went up on most things. If there is a flash sale sometime, hopefully someone will post about it here. I miss them sometimes bc I stopped getting JC emails - but I check here often throughout the day ;)

    3. I said the same thing. We just had this promo two weeks ago. No thank you, then and now.

  7. I ran into the store briefly today. Store signage says 40% off and clearance is extra 60% off.

  8. Does anyone know how the Hayden kick out crop pants fit? They look cute but are final sale. I tried the Cameron but they don’t fit, size 8 too tight & size 10 way too big. I just got the Pull-on straight-leg bi-stretch wool pant in Snowy Stewart tartan in size 6. I wish Jcrew sizes were consistent.

    1. I tried them in plaid last winter. Similar to the Camerons which I also have a hard time with. Too tight on my thighs, loose on the waist. I just realize my proportions aren’t right for a lot of JCrew pants.

      Delete
    2. I tried them a couple of years ago. The waist was huge even after sizing down. Everywhere else they fit nicely. I decided against them only because of the issue with the waist. I was left wondering is there an ideal figure where they fit.

    3. I saw a woman with a straighter figure—thin but no big difference between waist and hips and skinny legs—try on the patio pants. (Remember those, sort of wide leg. Came about right before the Teddy which was the earlier incarnation of the Hayden.) Anyway they looked really nice on her. I always felt those were too tight on my thighs relative to my waist too. I just think a lot of the pants are not made for athletic thighs with small waists!

    4. Same here, the Hayden kickouts seem not to work for anyone with curves on the bottom. They were too tight for my thighs when they were loose at the waist, even when they fit my waist they somehow made me look like I had a muffin top when I sat down or did anything other than stand up perfectly straight. Something about the stretch in them?

    5. @Suz, sounds like me🤣 Those pants were wonderful. I still have 2 pairs. I think they’re called Under the Sea and a lighthouse print. Those are so old but at least they fit and I’m high waisted.

      Delete
    6. Thanks so much for everyone’s info! I’m going to give them a pass, I’d hate to buy them on final sale & be stuck. I’m going to keep looking for a nice pair of black pants. Ann Taylor used to be my go to the ankle pants always fit perfectly but they’ve been out of stock all season.

  9. I got a nice surprise in the mail today--$25 off a purchase of $75 or more. It says, "Holiday, the Cardmember way ... " I've been mostly buying basics--tights, new calf hair belt, long sleeve gray tee. The deal expires Jan. 31, so hopefully I'll see something to use it on, though with the usual markdowns, it's not such a great deal.

    1. I got something for $10 off I think. I haven't been able to use it tho because I couldn't add that coupon to the other promos. 🤷‍♀️ I have a bunch of rewards coming so maybe I'll use it in conjunction with the rewards and use it on something like cashmere which is hardly ever included in the sales.

      Delete
    2. Oh I think I got that one too. The $10 off.
